Calling all expats! Calling all music fans! Calling all prom lovers!
We can’t bring you the sardine-packed Tube, the greasy spoon, or the warm beer but we can bring you the Last Night of the Proms. This Queens Birthday weekend, 11 and 12 June, wave your flags, think of England, and have great night out at the Sydney Opera House with this most patriotic of traditions. Expect the best of British popular music including Jerusalem, Rule Britannia and Enigma Variations.
You won’t have to fight your position on the floor – we’ll give you a seat! And the Sydney Opera House will come alive with streamers and celebrations, all played for you by the Sydney Symphony under the baton of “Lord” Guy Noble.
